The Second Obama/McCain Debate

They’ve both been trash talking like prize fighters all weekend, they’ll be roaming the stage and we’ll be talking live about it.

doubleplusundead has a live chat going and he emailed me to tell us we’re welcome there, too.
Some background for the debate. I just got this email from the Obama campaign;

Jonn —

I was in North Carolina with Barack yesterday — getting ready for tonight’s debate — and I took a break to record a short strategy update for you.

Yesterday, millions of Americans learned the details about John McCain, his political patron Charles Keating, and their role in the last major financial crisis and taxpayer-financed bailout of our time.

The truth makes it even clearer why a senior McCain adviser admitted to a reporter, “If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.”

But it’s not enough to merely inform voters — we’ve got to turn them out to vote.

You can make a huge difference by making a short trip to a key battleground state where the race is neck-and-neck — or by making phone calls to undecided voters in battleground states.
While we’re focused on persuading and turning out voters, John McCain has given up talking about the issues that are central to this election — especially the economy. Instead, he’s running the most negative presidential campaign in modern history.

In the past few days, we’ve seen the beginning of a major offensive that McCain is about to launch, filled with distortions, personal attacks, and flat-out lies about Barack.

But you can help fight back by getting involved at the grassroots level — knocking on doors, making phone calls, and talking to undecided voters about what really matters in this election.

Commit at least one day to make sure Barack gets the votes we need to win:
